87.5 Theories for strong electrolyte 1. The Debye-Huckel theory The Debye-Huickel theory was proposed by Peter Debye and Erich Huckel as a theoretical explanation for departures from ideality in solutions of electrolytes and plasmas. It is a linearized poisson-Boltzmann model, which assumes an extremely simplified model of the electrolyte solution but nevertheless gave accurate predictions of mean activity coefficients for ions in dilute solution The Debye-Huckel equation provides a starting point for modern treatments of non-ideality of electrolyte solutions Limitations and extensions: hopelessly oversimplified (I)Complete dissociation; (2) Weak electrolytes; (3)Ions are spherical, point charge and polarized; (4) Role of the solvent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/debye-huckeltheory

87.5 Theories for strong electrolyte 3. Debye-Huckel-Onsage theory In 1926, Onsager pointed out that as the ion distorted atmospheres moves across the solution its ionic atmosphere is repeatedly being destroyed and formed again The time for formation of a new ionic atmosphere (relaxation time)is ca. 10-s in an 0.01 mol kg" solution Under normal conditions the velocity of an ion is sufficiently slow so that the electrostatic force exerted by the atmosphere on the ion tends to retard its motion and hence to decrease the conductance 1)Relaxation effect 2)Electrophoretic effect L Onsager, Zur Theorie der Electrolyte I', in Physikali Zeitschrift, 27(1926), 388-392, and".II,, ibid., 28(1 277-298
3. Debye-Hückel-Onsage theory 1) Relaxation effect 2) Electrophoretic effect In 1926, Onsager pointed out that as the ion moves across the solution, its ionic atmosphere is repeatedly being destroyed and formed again. The time for formation of a new ionic atmosphere (relaxation time) is ca. 10-7 s in an 0.01 mol·kg-1 solution. Under normal conditions, the velocity of an ion is sufficiently slow so that the electrostatic force exerted by the atmosphere on the ion tends to retard its motion and hence to decrease the conductance. + − + − − − − − + + + + + − − − + + − − §7.5 Theories for strong electrolyte distorted atmospheres L.
